Letter to the Editor: Sen. Reid responsible for wolf slaughter

For those of you watching with dismay as lower 48 wolf numbers have been cut nearly in half since August of this year because of unwarranted slaughter, I have a suggestion. Call Sen. Reid at 1-202-224-3542. Ask him to fix the mess he created.

Sena. Reid's fingerprints are all over this disaster. He agreed for Sens. Tester (Montana) and Simpson (Wyoming) to attach a rider to an appropriations bill in the middle of the night which removed Endangered Species Act protection for the animal without public debate, and with language which prevents concerned citizens or groups from challenging the action in court.

The "management" plan for the gray wolf by Montana, Idaho and Wyoming fish and game agencies is to kill the animal with vigor.

Despite Sen. Reid's rather good environmental record for Nevada, particularly wilderness designation, this is perhaps his most pathetic environmental policy failure.
